Apply now to join our team and be part of something bigger than yourself - where collaboration, creativity, and purpose come together to build the technologies that will define the next century.

IT Intern - AI Service Desk Assistant

The IT Intern will partner with the IT Service Desk team to design, build, and pilot an AI-powered IT Service Desk Assistant - a working prototype that uses large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) against our Freshworks ticketing data and IT knowledge base to auto-classify tickets and recommend resolutions to L1 analysts.

This is a hands-on, project-based internship with a defined deliverable, an executive sponsor (Senior Director, IT & Security), and a dedicated technical mentor. The intern will own the prototype end-to-end: data exploration, model and retrieval design, pilot execution, measurement, and a production-readiness recommendation.

What You'll Do

• Extract, clean, and analyze ~12 months of Freshworks ticket data to baseline volume, categories, MTTR, and resolution patterns
• Build a ticket classification and routing model using a commercial LLM API
• Design and implement an RAG pipeline against the Lyten IT knowledge base using a vector store
• Iterate on prompt design, retrieval quality, and evaluation metrics
• Run a structured pilot with a small group of L1 service desk analysts and measure impact against baseline KPIs
• Document the architecture, runbook, and a recommended production path
• Present findings and recommendations to IT leadership at the end of the engagement

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or master's program in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, AI/ML, or a related field; rising junior, senior, or graduate student preferred
• Proficiency in Python or like language,
• Working knowledge of LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or equivalent) and basic prompt engineering
• Familiarity with RAG concepts
• Git and version control fundamentals
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to explain technical work to non-technical stakeholders
• Self-directed, organized, and able to scope and ship a deliverable on a fixed timeline

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Prior coursework or project work in NLP, information retrieval, or applied machine learning
• Experience with ITSM platforms (Freshworks, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management) or general familiarity with IT service desk operations
• Familiarity with evaluation frameworks for LLM applications (RAGAS, LangSmith, or equivalent)
• Basic understanding of data privacy and security best practices when working with internal company data

What You'll Gain

• Real-world experience deploying applied AI inside a production IT environment at a high-growth advanced manufacturing company
• Direct mentorship from senior IT and security engineers and an executive sponsor at the Senior Director level
• End-to-end ownership of a project that will be presented to company executives
• A portfolio-ready deliverable and a documented business impact you can speak to in future interviews
